Mandatory COVID-19 isolation periods scrapped from October 14, emergency response 'finished' says national cabinet (ABC). The test name is because NSW premier Dominic Perrottet has been calling for this for ages. The AMA and state health officers call it "madness".

Attorney-general Mark Dreyfus, who is drafting the rules for National Anti-Corruption Commission and says that there is a need for public hearings "in some circumstances". There is debate about where the threshold for these should be, with the crossbenchers wanted them more public and the Coalition wanting them less.

Gen. Vincent K. Brooks. Served with him in Iraq, former Public Affairs chief, tried to keep the USARPAC alliance together while Trump was blackballing South Korea and cozying up to KJU.

He's an affable guy, always took time to listen to troops but had a very, very short limit for open bullshit like officers who didn't study their briefs, people who talked for too long on a simple subject or just read from a slide and the like. I think I only saw him get really mad once; most any other time he'd have this 'disappointed dad' tone.

I can imagine that he loving hated dealing with Trump or Pence.

He doesn't look terribly impressed with Pence's mean mugging North Korea for a photo op, that's for sure. Poor dude was probably stuck hanging out there for an hour while they tried to make Pence look stern and (vice) presidential. I laugh whenever I see this picture, because there's just...little things. That guy's expression. Agent Smith in the background. Some dude's ear. I like how they put Vice President Mike Pence on the jacket, just in case he forgot his name, or there was some other Mike Pence running around and they didn't want anyone to be confused. The way Pence's eternal Concerned Brow Furrow is trying very hard to look intimidating.

Anyway, first image that popped into my head at that Lester.

Absolute horror poo poo, yeah. There are also reports that they get migrants to push other migrants back (because then Frontex isn't using excessive force, see?).
At a guess, I'd say that the people who such up to keep are borders safe are probably not the people you'd expect to treat migrants as people.

I think he gestured vaguely at the idea of wanting to maybe think about codifying Roe v Wade, which means that he is rounding up Christians to feed to hungry lions in the coliseum as we speak.

The FBI took back a bunch of poo poo Trump stole, and have seized the phones of a bunch of the most transparently criminal jan 6th conspirators.

also conservatives have been running an overt terror campaign against children's hospitals, schools, libraries and trans people in general, Ron DeSantis is bragging about literally trafficking asylum seekers, Texas keeps passing flagrantly unconstitutional laws, and several states have been following suit. None of this has elicited a notable response from the Biden administration or DoJ, but they are pre-emptively throwing a fit that someone will attempt to respond to the crimes they are transparently committing. Oh also even more obvious election rigging, just any crime you can imagine.

Also the vague noise about maybe possibly codifying Roe v Wade if the voters are good, for real this time we promise.

It could be any one of those. "Christian Conservatives" is just a dogwhistle for fascism, and persecuting or oppressing them means making any move away from letting them run the country or towards holding them accountable for their crimes.

I just love the absolute failure of artistic imagination here. This motherfucker has been spending months portraying crude stereotypes of the left as evil incarnate and basically set up this moment for when that in-universe "reality" interacts with his established protagonists. And now when that moment has come to cap that off, he's just got nothing. No visual metaphor, no dramatic action, just the protagonist sitting down and outright saying "left bad right good".
